Due to almost everywhere else being booked we found ourselves checking in at the Baron's by the Bay Inn. My wife seldom likes the smaller independent hotels as we have had numerous bad experiences over the years. While the Baron's Inn is definitely an older hotel the furnishings are fairly new and the room was very clean. The manager had... More

First appearances of the motel are a bit scary, but apparently I got one of the renovated rooms. It was spacious, attractive and immaculately clean. A nice sized flat screen TV with cable, an iron, ironing board, hair dryer, shampoo and skin lotion are supplied (Bath & Body Works stuff!!). A microwave would be nice since there is a small... More

Fantastic location (right across from a park with a great view of Mobile bay), good price. The owners are nice. The exterior is ugly and dated, but our room was clean and nice. Good restaurants right down the road (within walking distance)

We stayed here during the summer. $100/night and it was total dump. I mean, so bad you feel gross from just walking into the room. There was a newer section that may have had nicer rooms, but the room we got would have been a ripoff at $29/night, much less $100. I felt like they took advantage of the fact... More

This hotel was too expensive for what it actually offered. The only good thing about it was location - right across the road from the beach. Otherwise, it smelled musty, had tiny beds, felt old, and they charged me $10 extra for a 3rd person in a room with two double beds. Not impressed. Will never go back.

The customer service here is terrible. The front desk woman is inflexible and not willing to help in a difficult situation. If you don't mind outside entry rooms with suspicious people in the parking lot and rude service then you will feel welcomed here. While the rooms seem clean, the beds are very uncomfortable and the carpet feels cheap and... More

Could not believe the price. $79 for two. Two beds. Ground lever. Fridge in room. Across street from American Legion and the Bay next to Gambinos restaurant. Very nice Mardi Gras time and other hotels expensive and two day minimum. Batons has been refurbished and very clean in room. Outside needs cleanup and paint but room great. No microwave but... More

On first glance the place looks quite run down. The room however was very clean and spacious. New bathroom counters (although oddly quite high from the floor). Microwave and mini fridge. Not a lot to choose from in town. A very nice Italian restaurant next door and just seconds from a beautiful walkway along the bay. Nothing special but much... More

Don't let the outside deter you as Barons has recently been purchased within just the past year by a quaint family-oriented clan and is being lovingly rennovated to this day. I feel it honestly is quite a charming little place. The staff was knowledgable, friendly, and eager to assist. All the rooms I saw as doors were open sat impeccably... More

Just returned from our family trip to the gulf coast. After reading other reviews I decided to take a chance on this small one. Let me first say that before booking I double checked that we could bring our two small pomeranians and was told it was okay. Upon check-in the owner lady (family owned and run) was very rude,...
